        "text": "Liquid-applied membranes are painted or rolled directly onto backer board to create a seamless, gap-free barrier, which makes them ideal for curved walls, small niches, and bench seats. Sheet membranes are pre-formed polymer sheets bonded to the substrate using thin-set mortar. While liquid coatings require careful attention to uniform thickness and extended curing times between coats, sheet systems offer consistent thickness immediately and can often be tiled over the same day. The choice usually depends on shower geometry: complex custom shapes benefit from liquid coatings, while flat, expansive shower walls suit sheet membranes well.",
